Report: Colbert Stops Show for Mom
Oh where, oh where could Stephen be?! That was the question being hurled around by fans of comedian Stephen Colbert’s The Colbert Report after the show abruptly halted production this week “due to unforeseen circumstances.” The New York Post
cited a source Friday that said the show was put on hold as Colbert
tended to his ailing 91-year-old mother, who lives in Charleston, S.C.
“They are a very private family,” the source told the paper of the
Colberts. Stephen is the youngest of 11 children. Colbert told audiences
on Monday that he had just returned from a week in South Carolina
before the show was snipped later in the week. The show is said to
return as early as next week, according to the source. (Source:The Daily Beast and The New York Post.)
